Michael Jackson caused fail whale





Michael Jackson caused fail whales on several social networking sites...




I was pissed off earlier when I got home. I was going online to find news about the death of Michael Jackson and I can seem to get any websites. My wireless router looks fine and my dsl connection are all green but it doesn't allow me to connect. Well, this is caused by a "fail whale."

Michael Jackson is dead and he takes a piece of the internet. During the first 5 hours of breaking the news on the internet, social networkings like Facebook and Twitter are hardly accessible. This is due to Fail whale.

Fail whale happens whenever the site is overloaded.

Here are some incidents during the Michael Jackson fail whale:
1. TechCrunch had several outages.
2. Perez Hilton's blog had outages too.

3. CNN had a sudden rise of traffic
4. Twitter crashed
5. Wikipedia had 500 edits on Michael Jackson's page.

Today I'm going to attend the awarding ceremony of the Goldilocks blog contest. I'm bring my sister coz she's working near High Street. I'm not sure how many participants joined the contest. I know that we have very talented and articulate bloggers around the globe who joined. I don't know if I will win and I'm not expecting coz my blog is just for personal use. I don't expect a lot of viewers but just few cyber friends. I'll post whatever I can gather from the event when I get back online.

Giyera ba ang sagot sa kapayapaan? Para sakin? Hindi ko alam... Pero ang titulo ng aking obra ngayon ay bahagi lang ng totoong titulo ng aking painting. Isa ito sa mga artworks kong ilalabas sa mga susunod na araw. Mga painting na mag-iisip ka muna bago mo malaman ang tunay na kahulugan at tunay na title. Kung titignan mo ang painting sa taas, aakalain mong simple lang. Pero, simple nga lang ba ang obra kong ito? Subukan mong i-decode ang totoong title nito... "Army Dignify Airmen" Sasabihin mo pa kayang simple ang obra ko?

Globe Duo Line

At last! My Globe Duo line is now working! Well, it was working 3 weeks ago when I first used it. I can call any landline in the Metro for free and unlimited use. However, there's only one number that I cant really really make a call. Its my brother's wired landline line he subcribed alsoo from Globe. SO what I did was to make a call last Holy week. It was a whole week of holiday that's why I had to wait for Monday to follow up on the issue. I did not, however, I called on a Tuesday thinking that it might have been resolved on Monday, but it WASN'T. I called up a week after and it still not working. Then I called up another week after and dang it... still not working! Well, I've been a subscriber of Globe for more than 5 yrs now and they're not taking actions? OMG! Last call I made was Wednesday, April 29, 2009. I told them that they better take actions about it or else, I'm gonna cancel all my Globe transactions I have including my family, and friends... Th...
